v3 Chapter 416： Integrating a diverse population battle?

On August 22, 1868, under a heated discussion in Europe, the most influential weekly magazine "Echo" in Europe, and Dean of the History School of The Hague University, Catini, spoke to Mr. The Dean of the School of Foreign Affairs of Leiden University, the oldest university in the Netherlands in 1862, is also the special commentary expert of the most influential European Times, Herman. Van Peron conducts a face-to-face interview.

The two prime ministers discussed the hot topic in Europe - the Netherlands formally including the marriage of indigenous peoples and whites into the ranks of the national treatment policy.

"Words like ethnicity and ethnic culture, and a clear and strong sense of ethnicity, are extremely rare in the 19th century.

The reinforced ethnic identity in the United States and other countries and regions around the world, and the resulting conflicts and social divisions, are largely due to the fact that ethnic identity has been singled out for political interests when the government has more resources. As a mobilization tool, many politicians seek profit for themselves in the name of ethnic diversity and cultural pluralism. "

Herman. Van Peron sighed that some time ago, the various descendants of the United States of America competed for power and staged scenes of "story" that shocked the world, which made people really sigh.

Cartieri: "Mr. Van Perron thinks how should the Netherlands respond to a crisis in the Netherlands when diversity will be exploited?"

"Cartini, your question is on point."

Herman. Van Peron: "Whether it is the entire European history or the world history, the trend of cultural pluralism should at least have two constructive contributions, so that it is meaningful"

Cartini: "Which two?"

Herman. Van Perron: "First, the sensitivity of the Dutch society to discrimination against all ethnic groups in the Netherlands has been increased, so there have been positive improvements on the ground and attitudes, and corresponding measures have been taken in the Netherlands and the judiciary.

But the Dutch people and experts and scholars have paid more attention to and conducted more research on the cultural heritage of diverse ethnic groups.

Taking the United States in North America as an example, a certain ethnic group, such as the Catholic immigrants of Irish and Italian descent, will not completely lose all the cultural customs of all ethnic groups brought by Europe in the process of deep integration with the mainstream society of the United States.

Italian-American women are generally more closely related to their parents than Irish-American women, a phenomenon that is difficult to explain without the cultural heritage of their respective contemporary groups. "

Cartini: "The problem is that viewing and dealing with ethnic relations in the Netherlands from the perspective of cultural pluralism is inherently flawed, especially when legislation and policy are influenced by this line of thinking."

Herman. Van Perron: "The Dutch fight against racial-discrimination must start in earnest, and it must be clear about real policies and policies against multiculturalism, but this is incremental, for example in universities considering ethnic identity as a factor in admissions. , this orientation is not to encourage equality between individuals, but to discriminate against other Dutch citizens by supporting specific groups of specific minority groups, the so-called reverse discrimination. cohesion.”

Cartini: "?"

Herman. Van Peron: "For new immigrants and disadvantaged minorities, emphasizing surprise and fighting for special treatment is definitely not a smooth channel to enter the mainstream society in the Netherlands. In fact, as early as the beginning of this century, when a large number of European countries immigrated to North America, American scholars appeared, but some Cultural pluralism reinforces the social equality and economic development issues that ethnic identity will lead American society to truly ignore, thereby harming the interests of vulnerable groups."

Herman. Van Perron said, "In the name of cultural diversity, it is possible and thought to encourage ethnic identity and cultural differences. It is not obvious in the United States, which has already diversified in life, but it is rare in the Netherlands, so the implementation of diversity in the Far East may make many Dutch people. The local people are dazzled, often not chosen by people voluntarily and voluntarily, which hinders their own development, and often leads to contempt for the Dutch legal system and basic social order. personality goes against the grain"

Cartini: "So, the Dutch government has to face a lot of difficulties? What do you decide to do in the Netherlands to complete the strategy of multicultural society integration?"

Herman. Van Peron said: "In the early 19th century, many experts on cluster problems in Europe and North America had noticed that in the United States, a multi-immigrant country, the absolute mainstream status of English and the new immigrants and aboriginal languages quickly It is one of the three major factors for the cohesion of the United States. English is a common language that is highly recognized by American citizens. Ethnic mixing and intermarriage are already geographically non-existent units in any ethnically specific area. , all point to the building of truly solid bonds of American solidarity.

Therefore, the Dutch government should make the official and folk language better than English in terms of Dutch, and secondly, intermarriage, which is to integrate all ethnic groups, culturally implement 'proprietary' and 'my own too' Your' strategies are integrated into one. At the same time, in the Netherlands, there cannot be a situation where a single ethnic group is fixed in the dominance of a single province, so as to avoid division. "

The interview with the weekly "Echo" made Europe splattered with oil like adding water and refueling in a hot pan.

PrussiaBerlin.

"If the Netherlands successfully integrates the indigenous people for its own use, then it will be an earth-shaking change for the Netherlands. The strength of the Netherlands will take a big step forward. The Netherlands with 10 million people and the Netherlands with a population of 30 million are definitely not the same. level, we have to guard against"

King William I of the Kingdom of Prussia said very solemnly, he said to Bismarck: "At present, the industrial economy of the Netherlands is already very strong, and its scale is almost the same as that of Prussia. The reason for the gap is the small size of the population of the Netherlands. If the 20 million people Joining in will make the Netherlands even more powerful, even if it cannot reach the size of the white Dutch. As long as it reaches one third or half, the strength of the Netherlands will be doubled immediately, which is not only a huge impact on Prussia, but also on the United Kingdom. It is also a huge impact on Europe. The impact on the balance of power is absolutely subversive.”

Crown Prince Frederick nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right. The Dutch economy has grown at an alarming rate over the past ten years. We in Prussia are already fast enough, but the Netherlands is even more ferocious, and in some years the growth rate is more than double ours. , The first world industry-ming was in the United Kingdom. I originally thought that the protagonist of this second time would be the Kingdom of Prussia. After all, we have invested a lot of energy in electrical power, but before the United States of America adjusted Prussia, not to mention, Later, the Netherlands also grabbed a share.

At present, the protagonist of the second industrial revolution, which has just been judged by the European economic giants, has become the four countries of the United States, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom competing for hegemony. Rather, it makes the entire European economic power a battleground on both sides of the Atlantic.”
